Sprites "Boss Doors"

[Pigman Δ]

Don't vote EoW, BoC or Queen Bee. I already have them down but it doesn't seem to let you discard choices.

Hi!
This is my idea for something that could be implemented to help mapmakers.
This is my first post so it probably isn't very good.
These are my first sprites too, so they're definitely bad.
So without further ado.....

BOSS DOORS!

These incredibly useful contraptions are only openable when their respective boss has been downed.
I will add more in the future but I currently have:

Spoiler: GELATIN DOOR

I need a door mod

 

[Pigman Δ]

yes, i hope a modder notices cos its not gonna be in vanilla

also you are speed

 

[Sora_92]

These would be really interesting for adventure maps!

I do think though the "locked" version could have some sort of other indicator than red lines? (and not sure if it actually needs open sprites in its locked form, since you can't open that, right?
They also don't really tell right now, in their locked form, what boss needs to be defeated for them to open? is that intentional?

Thanks!

Maybe... what do you suggest?

I guess you could add a sign... It's kinda hard to fit a boss head on a closed door (so thin!) Maybe make the boss head appear on the cursor when you hover over the locked one?

(and not sure if it actually needs open sprites in its locked form, since you can't open that, right?)

Oof, yes, never mind. It'll be a placeholder (unplaceable in normal gameplay, placeable in TEdit) for consistency.

 

[Sora_92]

Well, dunno, what about things on the temple's door when locked? would that work here too?

And, yes, they are thin, I agree. I wonder how would it be possible to code that boss heads appear when you hover over it with the cursor? but I guess that could work.

Pretty easy, i'd imagine.
*points to all items being stuck to the cursor when you pick them up from inv*

I dunno if that's the same, but maybe...

Anyway, it's generally a good idea.

 

[MithranArkanere]

Oh. I thought they would be wall decorations that can be used to enter a dynamically generated room with the boos inside, and that break once you defeat the boss and get spit back into the world along any items left inside the room.

This would be definitely easier to make. But why stopping with doors? Why not furniture sets?

 

[Pigman Δ]

Huh? It's doors that are locked unless their boss has been defeated (for adventure maps). How do you suggest making furniture? Just decor?

EDIT: That would be sort of possible with a tele and one of these....

 

[Vampyr77🪓]

This would be cool
